I personally believe that Skype has a better fit as a Microsoft-owned entity than it did as an eBay-owned entity. eBay had no [profitable] means to integrate it into their current business (e-commerce and online payments), and no experience in managing an instant messaging application. Microsoft, on the other hand, would be able to integrate Skype into their current business, and already has years of experience in managing an instant messaging application, due to their Messenger service.
Samsung's TouchWiz 3.0 packs in a fairly decent media player - it's been able to handle just about every format I've thrown at it (granted, I only have AVI, MP4, MKV, and MPG, but still); the only thing I wish it could do natively is display subtitles, for when they're embedded in the MKV's.
This reminds me of the Stargate SG-1 episode "Window of Opportunity" where Earth and several other planets get stuck in a "Groundhog Day" type scenario, and only Jack O'Neill and Teal'c realize what's happening.
Do you have T-Mobile in your area? You could try their Hotspot@Home service; it lets you use your own home Wi-fi network for voice calls (provided that you have a compatible wi-fi-enabled phone like the BlackBerry Bold 9700)
"We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Disable your firewalls, and forward your ports. Your processing power and hard drive capacity will be added to our own. Resistance is futile."
"Will they auction off the contents? I've always wanted a stargate or *gasp* even better... a Puddle jumper!"
I'd take one of those 50cal machine guns they have in the Gate Room, or maybe the Iris, myself:-).
And here I thought that PictoChat was ad-hoc only, and not online (assuming, of course, that some hacker group didn't figure out how to get it online)?
I'm thinking that Ken Kutaragi (CEO and President of Sony Computer Entertainment) needs to be thrown into the looney bin, sedated, and left there for all eternity.
I believe what you're referring to is "product placement," like the Dell laptops you see Dr. Weir's team using on Stargate Atlantis. "In-game advertising" in my eyes are billboards for, say, The Incredibles, etc., but that's just me.:)

Will it revolve around her quarter-life crisis?
So, the film-maker was Dr. Forrester, and the censors were Joel, Tom, Crow, and Gypsy?
Was just about to post this *shakes tiny fist*

They want their outdated mobile data standard back (preferably with no shipping charges)
Studies also show that due to the icon, most Chrome users thought they were downloading a Pokemon application.
Or a Metroid app (it sure looks like Samus's Morph Ball to me)

I think of Gundam 00
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
I think the phrase "A dog's bark is worse than its bite" applies here.
FCC: [barks like a Chihuahua] You have 30 days to disclose your "bandwidth management" practices.
Comcast: [pretends to be scared] Oooh, whatcha gonna do, wag your tail at me?
Maybe they should have just kept the system invite-only, instead of opening it up to everyone -- that would help, the way I see it.
Am I the only one who, reading the title, immediately thought of The Flintstones?
Reminds me of Terminal Error.

1. Trade in PS3 for a Wii (and maybe a few Wiimotes/games)
2. ???
3. PROFIT!
Looks like the /. editors dropped the ball in the Company Logo Department.
Intel's Old Logo (1968-2005) should be replaced with Intel's New Logo (2006-?)

Seems to me that when people try to shut down the spammers, the spammers strike back, ala the Mafia
